AT&T Creates Website to Baltimore Residents Help Locate Family Members and Friends in Puerto Rico

AT&T set up a website that will let anyone stateside (regardless of carrier) to register the cell phone number of a family member or friend who is an AT&T wireless customer in Puerto Rico.

When the Puerto Rico-based customer’s cell phone connects to AT&T's network in Puerto Rico, the customer will be notified that their family or friends in the U.S. have been trying to contact them.

The family member or friend who registered will also be notified through email when additional service in Puerto Rico has been restored.

“We are committed to the restoration and recovery efforts for the people of Puerto Rico. With this website we are helping them reach family and friends in the U.S. as services restore,” AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan said. “Critical help has been arriving this weekend and more is on the way.”

Running from Sept. 20 through Sept. 29 AT&T is automatically issuing credits and waiving additional fees to give unlimited data, talk and texts to AT&T wireless customers and unlimited talk and texts to AT&T PREPAID customers in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.* They're also extending payment dates for impacted AT&T PREPAID customers with voice and text service through Sept. 29.
